Israeli News Update: Judicial Reform and Protests, With Ra'anan deHaas, Jewish Federation Shaliach

Wednesday, March 29, 2023 7 Nisan 5783

6:30 PM - 7:30 PM

After last fall's Israeli election, the new coalition has proposed a series of reforms related to the powers of the Supreme Court with regard to laws passed by the Knesset and to the selection of judges, among other things. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been protesting each week, after Shabbat and during the work week. What should we understand as American Jews and American Zionists about the proposals and the protests? What is happening now? What are the best ways to keep informed?

Ra'anan deHaas has been the shaliach, the official emissary from the Jewish Agency in Israel to New Hampshire, since 2021. He joins us to discuss current events and answer questions. The session will take place at Temple Beth Abraham in the Sanctuary, as well as on Zoom at this link (our usual daily Zoom). Open to anyone and free of charge.
